I have a Dell Latitude LS with an intergrated NIC.  This machine was networked to a desktop using a crossover cable and worked fine.  I installed a DSL line with a Linksys DSL Router and I get the Network Cable Unplugged status from Windows 2000 when I use the proper cable.  It doesn't light the status light on the router either.  I have tried using different patch cables that work on other machines.  A desktop and another laptop using a PCMCIA NIC work fine with the router.  I'm stumped, any suggestions?

Thanks, Jim
